P. KELLY. cut-out cock is to prevent the loss ofmain reservoir air wlienever it is de-sired to make quick or temporary re-pairs to any part of tlie brake apparatus,if these should be found necessary ordesirable after the system has beenpumped up. It has the maximum pres-sure head of the pump governor connec- off to the feed valve pipe, there is a pipestrainer. This strainer being placedwhere it can protect the feed valves forthe automatic and the independent brakevalves from dirt and other foreign sub-stances, enables them to operate withoutany occasional annoyance from dirt,keeps them clean, reduces wear, and. FIG. 1. PIPE CONNECTIONS K T ENGINE .\ND TENDER EQlIPMENT. are commencing to be realized to a largedegree. The illustration. Fig. i, shows thepipe connections, and the various valvessectioned so as to show their internalconstruction. By reference to this illustration it willbe observed that there is a cut-out cockplaced in the main reservoir return pipe,so located that, when desirable, the mainreservoir may be cut out from the restof the equipment. The object of this lion made to it in such manner that thishead is never cut out, and, consequently,the pump governor never loses controlof the pump. When this reservoircut-out cock is turned to cut out themain reservoir, it opens a port leadingfrom the return pipe, on the brake valveside, to the atmosphere, so that thebrakes will apply, thus necessitating theopening of this cock before proceedingand after repairs are completed.
